Web Icons

One thing planetOzh wanted to improve in the Admin area of his Wordpress blog was the header menu. He wants to be able to reach any admin page in one click, instead of first clicking on the first level link (”Manage” for example) and then only on a submenu link (”Comments“) So here is a very neat plugin : the Worpdress Admin Drop Down Menu.

The plugin comes with a wickedly cool API that will allow other plugin developers to interact with it, like adding your own custom icon for your plugin. Read the API for Coders page for examples and documentation. Also, all elements the plugin produces get custom CSS classes and id’s to allow easy styling or selecting.

Pricing: Free
Requirements: WordPress 2.5+

The “Lighter Menus” plugin does this too, and it looks better judging only by that screenshot you posted. Once you use those drop down menus, you can’t live without ‘em.

That’s really cool, thanks!
